What if all of life
Is preparing us
All pain and loss
Simply messengers
(Signposts saying:)

Turn towards the light
Turn your face to God
Beings of Light
Remember whence you came

Dust to dust
Is the least of us
We come from Light
To Light we shall return (O)

Suffer or be happy
It’s up to you
What is simply is
The story’s not the truth

To say yes to life
Says yes to all of this
All pain and joy
And loss and bliss

Why are we here?
Just to break our hearts?
To learn to love,
Then to lose it all?

We'll lose everyone,
Everything in this world
Health and body
And family and friends

Sing it again
I don't understand
How can this be
The truth of God’s plan? (Won’t you)

How to die with a smile
With no regrets,
To live each day
As my last?

Suffer or be happy
It’s up to me
What is simply is
I choose to be free

What happens is what happens
The story’s up to me
What is simply is
I choose to be free
